Freedom Means...
What could it sound like to talk with a four year old about gentrification? What about police brutality? What about medical racism? Freedom Means... is a podcast hosted by storyteller and mother Grace Aldrich and preschool teacher Emma Redden. Grace and Emma use each episode to model what conversations related to race, racial violence, and colonialism could sound like. They role play different scenarios based on their own and listener’s experiences discussing and navigating this beautiful and devastating world alongside young people. Our intention is to engage with our listeners. If you have scenarios you’d like us to try to role play, reflections on what you hear, or are interested in working with us, please find us at thefullstoryschool.org.

Season 2

Episode 3
In this episode Grace and Emma move into the third of a four episode series. This episode explores engaging with children's beautiful and imperfect rendering of the stories we tell them. We talk about the harm of dividing white people in categories of "mean" and not "mean" and the complexity of safety. We continue to explore Heather McGhee's work and her reflections on the truth and myth of the Zero Sum.
